iPod touch Restoring Music to the Computer from the Touch

[Bob Chadwick]

Lost my harddrive recently including all of the music that was on it. Backup is about 50 - 100 songs out of date. All the music is on the Touch.

Is there any way to get the music off the Touch? As I recall, Itunes will tell me that there is purchased music on the Touch that isn't in Itunes when I hook it up but it won't handle the other music copied from CD's and purchased elsewhere. I suspect when it syncs that it will then delete all the music not purchased from Apple off the Touch.
Thanks for the help.

a google search will lead you to programs such as senutil, which allows you to get music from iPods to computer.

Did the search. Thanks for the info but I forgot to mention I have one of those nasty PC's and this is a Mac program.

There is a program called ipod access. It has a version for windows or for Mac, and works well. It is not free, but worth it to save or retrieve your stuff. It is available at Findley Designs.
